FY 2018 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military Executive Summary: United States Air Force

Sexual assault is a crime that negatively affects victims and their families, erodes unit trust and cohesion, and ultimately undermines the Air Force’s lethality and mission success. It is inconsistent with our core values and goes against our culture of dignity and respect. The Air Force remains steadfast in innovating, evolving, and strengthening our sexual assault response and prevention efforts, including refining and expanding access to robust victim support services, engaging leadership, implementing evidence-based prevention programs, and holding offenders appropriately accountable. The Air Force is committed to continually building trust and confidence with the goal of encouraging victims to report and receive support and ensuring that every Airman and family member thrives. Accordingly, the Air Force is deliberately implementing strategy to increase reporting until it meets the level of incidence, while driving both figures to zero. In Fiscal Year 2018, the Air Force faced continued challenges, but has made some progress. The Air Force prevention efforts continued to evolve toward an integrated and holistic approach to violence prevention and resilience, to include shoring up the mission and scope of the Integrated Resilience Directorate (AF/A1Z) to reduce silos and capitalize on Air Force synergies across research and development, planning, policy, programming, and assessment efforts. This included publishing a policy directive to establish an overarching policy and framework for all resilience and primary prevention of interpersonal and self-directed violence (e.g., sexual assault) programs and activities, which support and enhance Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program policy. On the training front, the Air Force updated sexual assault prevention training at all accession sources (e.g., Basic Military Training, the United States Air Force Academy, Reserve Officer Training Corps) to align with the annual prevention program provided across the Total Force, focusing on leadership engagement and bystander intervention. Moreover, the Air Force made progress on two innovative sexual assault prevention initiatives. The Sexual Communication and Consent training is an interactive tablet-based training for Basic Military Training where recruits will complete a confidential screening exercise and receive one of six evidence-based programs determined by their beliefs, values and experience. The Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program at the United States Air Force Academy delivers to cadets the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that will enhance their personal resilience, increase their potential for success, and help them develop healthy and rewarding personal relationships. The Air Force also implemented “Getting to Outcomes,” a strategic planning process for community action planning, which allows installations to develop specific prevention and response plans that address areas of concerns and unique needs. This then informs the delivery of the annual training with materials from the “Create an Environment of Dignity, Respect, and Connectedness” toolkit, which continues to reinforce effective bystander skills while meeting sexual assault and suicide prevention training requirements. In Fiscal Year 2018, the Air Force also made progress in our response efforts for sexual assault. During this reporting period, the Headquarters Air Force SAPR Program conducted consultation visits with Major Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinators to address the complexities of providing professional oversight to increase proficiency and expand program capacity. Air Force Instruction 90-6001, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program, was updated to provide additional direction to commanders on sexual assault response policy and procedures,


clarify policy intent, and assist Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel in implementing their programs. The Air Force approved plans to increase the initial Sexual Assault Response Coordinator Course from seventy-two to eighty hours and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate Course from forty to fifty-six hours to facilitate improved quality of advocacy and care to victims. The Air Force also stood up the Sexual Assault Response System Improvement committee to advance specific goals, aimed at improving victim care and recovery, increasing sexual assault reporting, and improve chain of command and system accountability. On the legal front, the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Division continued to promote the enforcement of sexual assault victims’ privileges and rights within all military branches by representing Air Force members in sister Services’ courts, through leadership provided to the congressionally mandated Inter-Services Committee, and by providing training to incoming Special Victims’ Counsel. Moreover, Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel conducted and received advanced training at civilian sponsored conferences and Service courses, such as the Air Force Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course and the Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course, and the Special Victims’ Counsel Division initiated Character and Strength Summits designed to focus on assault victim-specific mental health issues, wellness, and resiliency. The Air Force also designed, developed, and executed its first in-residence training for Victim and Witness Assistance Program Coordinators to ensure personnel are informed of changes in victim rights and the military justice process as well as how to most effectively work and coordinate with Special Victims’ Counsel. During this reporting period, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations maintained timely delivery of sexual assault investigations to conduct and publish Reports of Investigations in over 1,000 adult victim sexual assault cases. Moreover, we continue to collaborate with the Department of Defense and Sister Services on the CATCH a Serial Offender Program, offering victims who opt for a Restricted Report an opportunity to provide information on the accused and/or incident for potential identification of serial offenders. Implementation of CATCH is expected in 2019. A new protocol was also implemented to identify serial sexual offenders to assess whether they’ve exhibited similar (abusive) behaviors with others, which allows Air Force Office of Special Investigations to look into a Subject’s other close relationships. The Air Force Office of Special Investigationss is further developing cross-disciplinary collaboration with stakeholders to improve victim confidence in the system, leading to increased reporting. In Fiscal Year 2018, the Air Force continued to make progress in reporting. We received a record 1,544 reports of sexual assault involving Service members - the largest number of reports of sexual assault received since the inception of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program in 2005. This is a 4.3% increase from the 1,480 reports made in Fiscal Year 2017. The Air Force attributes this upward trend in reporting to a higher level of trust and confidence in our robust response system. The Air Force, however, recognizes that more must be done and acknowledges, that despite our best efforts, prevalence has increased. According to more recent surveys, there has been an increase in Airmen who were sexually assaulted in the past year. While sexual assault reporting increased between Fiscal Years 2016 and 2018 by 14%, the prevalence of sexual assault has increased at a higher rate. Despite this significant challenge, the Air Force is committed to eliminating the gap between prevalence and reporting through multi-pronged prevention and response system strategies, to


include leadership engagement. We are currently exploring strategies to prevent accessing those individuals identified at a high risk for unethical behaviors, including sexual assault perpetrators. Moreover, we standardized our accessions training and continue to advance our bystander intervention approach, grounded in evidence-based strategies to ensure Airmen are equipped to safely intervene against sexual assault and other forms of violence. Our goal is to get beyond awareness raising, to implement prevention strategies with proven results. This includes looking at positive unit climate and leadership engagement. Initial evaluation results indicate that this approach is increasing hope, efficacy, and positive behavior change. The Air Force continues to self-assess and enhance policy, programs, and training influenced by national research, trends and collaboration with key stakeholders. This includes updated Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response policy to reflect critical changes in victim care and streamlining for efficiency and effectiveness. We are integrating policy and programs that promote resiliency and violence prevention (e.g. sexual assault) that seeks to engage of Airmen at all levels. The Air Force remains steadfast in combatting sexual assault through innovating, evolving, and strengthening our response and prevention systems. We strive to identify strategies that eliminate existing challenges and barriers while offering best available solutions that promote Total Force well-being. Optimized performance enables lethality by empowering Airmen to “out-think, out-maneuver, out-partner, and out-innovate existing and emerging threats” (National Defense Strategy, 2018). 1. Goal 1—Prevention 1.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Prevention goal to “institutionalize evidenced-based, informed prevention practice and policies across the Department so that all Military Service members are treated with dignity and respect, and have the knowledge, tools, and support needed to prevent sexual assaults.” (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 1 – Prevention, p. 6) In this strategic summary, include significant updates and/or force-wide changes describing how your Military Service is addressing the following topics. There is no need to repeat prior Annual Report submissions if these processes have remained largely the same as in prior years. Overall Approach: What force-wide initiatives did your Military Service employ this year to reduce the occurrence of sexual assault? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 1 – Prevention, p. 6) Metrics for Assessing Prevention Effectiveness: What metrics are being used to assess the effectiveness of prevention efforts intended to reduce the prevalence of sexual assault? Include a discussion of the metrics used to assess your sexual assault prevention program, and how they support or supplement DoD’s core prevention metrics (i.e., prevalence and bystander intervention experience). Describe how the results of those metrics are informing prevention planning. (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021, (December 1, 2016), Goal 1 – Prevention, Objective 1.1, p. 6)


Institutionalize Prevention: What are your efforts to institutionalize prevention efforts throughout your Service? Where do you see your efforts being most effective and where do you see areas for additional attention? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021, (December 1, 2016), Goal 1 – Prevention, p. 6) Expanding Prevention Knowledge: What advances have you made this year to expand your Services' knowledge of primary prevention? If applicable, how have you differentiated who receives what content? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan (December 1, 2016), Goal 1 – Prevention, Objective 1.2, p. 7) Evidence-Based Prevention Practices: Explain your Military Service's approach to fostering and ensuring the use of evidence-based prevention practices. What resources or support have been put in place to educate your prevention community on how to interpret research in the prevention field? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan (December 1, 2016), Goal 1 – Prevention, Objective 1.2, p. 6) Summarize your efforts The Air Force continues to prioritize and implement prevention efforts grounded in evidence-based strategies and approaches to ensure Air Force lethality and mission success. This includes advancing training programs focused on leadership engagement and bystander intervention, which equips Airmen with the knowledge and skills to identify warning signs and safely intervene against sexual assault or other forms of violence. Training also focused on increasing the belief that violence is preventable, increasing leadership and bystander efficacy, and improving bystander behaviors. To build on fiscal year 2017 foundational training, a leadership and bystander intervention toolkit, “The Tools to Create an Environment of Dignity, Respect, and Connectedness,” was developed to allow Violence Prevention Integrators to tailor training based on the specific or unique needs of their unit or installation. This tailored approach allows leadership and bystander intervention skills to be incorporated into the everyday lives of our Airmen for 2019. The Sexual Communication and Consent training was developed for implementation at Basic Military Training to provide high quality and effective sexual assault prevention training across Airmen’s career cycles. This tablet-based training will provide an interactive and multimedia training module based on each trainee’s current knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, and experiences. Using trainee information, the training broadly addresses sexual assault prevention, increases the likelihood of perpetration prevention, and reduces sexual assault victimization. The tailored interventions will be implemented in Spring of 2019. The Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program was implemented at the United States Air Force Academy to teach cadets how to manage stress and emotions, navigate peer pressure and social media, and foster healthy intimate relationships. In each instance, the delivery method is adapted to reinforce the tenets of the leadership and bystander intervention and bolster cadet acceptance, internalization, and efficacy. The Cadet Healthy Personal Skills primary prevention intervention model is innovative in that it takes a public health approach to preventing sexual misconduct and related risk behaviors. The intervention is guided by relevant psychosocial theory, as part of a social-ecological framework, to intervene upon key risk and protective factors at multiple levels. At the Academy, cadets were randomly assigned by basic cadet training squadron to either receive the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program (intervention group) or not receive the program (control


group). All consenting cadets completed an evaluation survey before and after implementation of the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program. In November 2017, a post-test evaluation was conducted via survey. The results of this evaluation indicate that the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program reduced inappropriate sexual behavior. The Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program also produced increase in skills and beliefs associated with personal resilience, healthy interpersonal relationships, and a culture of respect among cadets as reported in the 12-month program follow-up. Cadets who received the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program reported post-test rates of inappropriate sexual behavior that were approximately half that of the control group. Although only some of these comparisons reached statistical significance due to constraints on statistical power, the pattern and magnitude of the effects for the measured sexual acts without consent provide further support for the promise of the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program. A promising finding was that the rate at which women in the intervention group were kissed or sexually touched without consent (6.9%) was about half that of women in the control group (13.6%). Another promising finding was that cadets who went through the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program had better time management, relationship skills, and better consent attitudes. This finding was further confirmed at the 12-month follow-up. Appropriate beliefs about sexual assault were also better among intervention cadets at post-test, compared to control group cadets. In summary, the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program cut rates of sexual acts without consent for female cadets in the intervention group by approximately half (relative to a control group). This produced significant increase in skills and beliefs associated with personal resilience, healthy interpersonal relationships, and a culture of respect among cadets. Based on the positive outcomes of the test trial, the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program was implemented to all incoming freshmen in June 2018. The curriculum from the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program was adapted and piloted at two installations for the First Term Airmen Course. The Air Force now has recommendations for implementation and curricula for both the United States Air Force Academy and the First Term Airmen Course. The adaptation was named Airmen Personal and Professional Skills. The program assessment is facilitated through open-ended questions and group discussions. After implementation, participants completed a brief survey and participated in a 30-minute focus group. Three key informant stakeholder interviews were conducted in order to obtain feedback on various aspects of the program including curriculum content and sustainability of future implementations. Based on discussions during the program, focus groups and stakeholder interviews, 22 recommendations were provided by the program developer. There were nine recommendations for program content, three for implementation and scheduling, six for facilitator selection and training, and four for outcome evaluation. Overall Approach: The Air Force worked with RAND to implement the “Getting to Outcomes” process across the Air Force. This is astrategic planning process for community action planning. Installation Community Action Teams used this process to develop their installation specific prevention and response plans by utilizing information collected through community assessment surveys to address areas of concern, specifically violence prevention. Violence Prevention Integrators will use the “Getting to Outcomes” process to inform their delivery of the annual training with materials from the “Create an Environment of Dignity, Respect, and Connectedness” toolkit. Other conducted assessments will need to meet their local priorities and implementation needs. This approach will continue to


reinforce effective bystander skills for the primary prevention of interpersonal and self-directed violence while meeting sexual assault and suicide prevention training requirements. In Fiscal Year 2018, the Air Force also published Air Force Policy Directive 90-50, Integrated Resilience, to establish an overarching policy and framework for all resilience and primary prevention of interpersonal and self-directed violence (e.g., sexual assault) programs and activities, including Community Action Board and Community Action Team functions. This policy directive was part of an effort to integrate and consolidate resilience and violence prevention programs and activities under one office. This approach gives the Air Force the ability to eliminate research, policy, programming and assessment redundancies and streamline communication channels through the integration of related activities, and the selection of evidence-based programs with demonstrated effects. The Air Force also initiated the development of Air Force Instruction 90-5001, Integrated Resilience, which establishes guidance and requirements for programs and activities that support resilience and violence prevention. These policies support and enhance existing Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program prevention policy, reinforcing the Air Force’s commitment to prioritizing Airmen’s well-being and performance, and the overall sustainment of a resilient and ready Total Force. Air Force Instruction 90-5001 was published in January 2019. Metrics for Assessing Prevention Effectiveness: Short term and intermediate effects of the prevention elements of annual sexual assault prevention training have been monitored with a variety of surveys. The Combined Sexual Assault Prevention and Response/Suicide Prevention Training survey measures Airmen perception of the training effectiveness and delivery, as well as, their acceptance of the training. Air Force assesses the Workplace and Gender Survey of Active Duty Members to evaluate impact on behavioral change, both positive and negative. A sexual assault prevention and response provider survey was also developed in the summer of 2018, which will inform program performance and curriculum application. These surveys provide comprehensive feedback from the force as well as the program implementers. The Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program was implemented using scientific research standards. The program curriculum was introduced using a randomized controlled trial for qualitative and quantitative analysis of pre- and post-test assessments, which would support group comparisons and address program effectiveness. Program delivery was assessed via a fidelity checklist. The fidelity checklist guided observations and facilitator self-assessments to ensure the Cadet Healthy Personal Skills program met its program objectives and that the facilitators were delivering the content in a high quality manner. The data was collected via feedback surveys, focus groups, and individual interviews with the cadet participants. Institutionalize Prevention: The Air Force has made substantial investments in adapting and evaluating evidence-based sexual assault prevention approaches while also updating the content and delivery of sexual assault prevention training. The updated training builds on and reinforces sexual assault prevention training received in previous training environments. AF/A1Z partnered with the United States Air Force Academy and Air Education and Training Command to update sexual assault prevention training at accession sources to ensure top down effectiveness. Training was implemented at all


accession sources and given to the Total Force. Training for the “Getting To Outcomes” process was provided in preparation for process implementation in Fiscal Year 2019. Once implemented at all Air Force installations, “Getting to Outcomes” will support greater organizational integration and collaboration to better coordinate efforts to meet installation specific needs, which ultimately increases the effectiveness and positive impact of installation prevention initiatives. The incorporation of prevention training into efforts throughout the installation and going beyond the training environment will have the greatest effect. The synergy created by the coordinated efforts of leadership, plan execution, and training will reinforce the need for prevention programs to consist of evidence-based or informed proactive initiatives. The leadership and bystander intervention toolkit builds upon the foundational training delivered via “Green Dot” from previous years. It provides Violence Prevention Integrators the ability to tailor the training at the installation level, thereby increasing the likelihood of positive behavioral and attitudinal changes in Airmen. The development of targeted rather than universal training and approaches (e.g. the leadership and bystander intervention toolkit, Cadet Healthy Personal Skills) are a significant step in the Air Force’s plan to provide high quality and evidence-based prevention training from accession to separation or retirement. Additional attention is planned for the next phase of integration for our resilience and violence prevention efforts and programs. Optimizing the areas of overlap will serve as a force multiplier for the positive effects each training effort and program provides. To increase our chances of success, AF/A1Z has partnered with the 711th Human Performance Wing to develop a predictive performance optimizer application for our leadership and bystander intervention training. The predictive performance optimizer is a process that shifts training delivery focus to a competency-based and personalized training focus. If the predictive performance optimizer can be applied to our prevention efforts, our sexual assault prevention training will be driven by the needs of the individual learner, thus supporting the continued development of tailored training for every Airman. By developing training that can be tailored to the individual level, the possibility of incorporating our prevention efforts into our Airmen’s everyday activities are greatly increased. Moving forward, the focus will be on maximizing the impact of our training programs to decrease, to the greatest extent possible, interpersonal and self-directed violence while bolstering Airmen total well-being. The initial stages of development for this effort began in Fiscal Year 2018 however, application assessment will not begin until Fiscal Year 2019. Expanding Prevention Knowledge: The Air Force introduced a paradigm changing program that allows prevention to stand distinct from that of response. The purpose of this program is to move from a reactive to a proactive approach by developing teams committed to promoting proactive endeavors for the prevention of interpersonal and self-directed violence. This strengthens prevention by disentangling response strategies from prevention strategies thus increasing the impact of our initiatives and programs. The Air Force partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide training webinars for Violence Prevention Integrators, which expanded on their prevention knowledge and delivery skills. In order to ensure that all Violence Prevention Integrators have a common, strong foundation in a public health approach to violence prevention, AF/A1Z partnered with the Division of Violence Prevention in the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide training and ongoing professional development to the


Violence Prevention Integrators. This requirement involved establishing the training and professional development curricula that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed for the Violence Prevention Integrators. The curricula provided Violence Prevention Integrators the ability to identify and select the best available violence prevention policies, practices, and programs; ability to apply public health prevention approaches and models to enhance program design, and implementation of Air Force violence prevention activities; experience with program design, implementation, and translation; experience with assessment, research comprehension, and program evaluation; experience synthesizing data and communicating about data in a clear and concise way. These webinars occurred through a combination of facilitated discussions and activities along with reviewing video captured during in-person trainings. Evidence-Based Prevention Practices: The Air Force has partnered with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the public sector, and academia to implement a public health approach to sexual assault prevention training. AF/A1Z provided consistent message in its communications, training, and guidance to sexual assault prevention providers. The training curricula and delivery methods target awareness as well as behavioral change, Moreover, the “Getting To Outcomes” process provides an avenue to incorporate training into an integrated violence prevention plan tailored to the needs of the Airmen at the installation-level. All of these methods and efforts are based on or informed by peer-reviewed research from academia, military specific research, or proven best practices in the industry. From the headquarters to the installation level, guidance was disseminated that programs and training should be evidence-based to ensure that effective programs and trainings are being implemented. The Air Force Community Action Board issued guidance that all levels will limit resources dedicated to unproven approaches. Best practice standards were provided to Community Action Boards and Community Action Teams for implementation at every level. A standardized process to plan development, testing, execution, and assessment is available for every Community Action Team to better ascertain what are the best programs and practices that exist. This process also helps them determine what the resource allocation should be for prevention programs and training, as well as assess the quality and applicability of existing research and best practices. 1.2 Briefly describe your leadership-approved future plans to reduce the occurrence of sexual assault in your Military Service. Reducing sexual assaults within the Air Force requires a multi-faceted approach across the Airman career cycle. The Air Force Compatibility Assessment is under development. Implementation is anticipated in 2019 and will be a helpful screening tool for individuals seeking to enter the Air Force. The Air Force will continue to implement prevention approaches at accession sources. These efforts include tailored interventions delivered via tablet at Basic Military Training, a life skills and healthy relationship program for cadets entering the United States Air Force Academy, and effective leadership and bystander intervention training woven throughout training and reinforced by the Total Force annual training. For the sustainability phase of the leadership and bystander intervention training, all installations (including Air National Guard Wings) were provided a toolkit


with a variety of curricula and other training materials. This toolkit allows them to customize their approach and determine the best way to reinforce the messages of the prior year’s prevention efforts. In addition, training assistance support is provided to Violence Prevention Integrators to ensure training is properly delivered, training materials are used with fidelity, and Violence Prevention Integrators develop and improve their training facilitation skills. In addition to the prevention efforts at the installation and Air National Guard Wings, the Air Force continues to collaborate with the Department of Defense and our sister Services on implementation of the CATCH a Serial Offender Program in anticipation of the program’s release in 2019. This program will further assist in the identification of possible serial offenders and may provide victims an additional resource to report a sexual assault and to know the available options, potentially enhancing the Air Force’s ability to appropriately hold offenders accountable and inhibit their ability to continue perpetrating. 2. Goal 2—Victim Assistance & Advocacy 2.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Victim Assistance & Advocacy goal to “deliver consistent and effective advocacy and care for all military Service members or their adult dependents, such that it empowers them to report assaults, promotes recovery, facilitates dignified and respectful treatment, and restores military readiness.” (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 2 – Victim Assistance & Advocacy, p. 7) In this strategic summary, include significant updates and/or force-wide changes describing how your Military Service is addressing the following topics. There is no need to repeat prior Annual Report submissions if these processes have remained largely the same as in prior years. Overall Approach: What force-wide initiatives did your Military Service employ this year to improve response to sexual assault?

Include how your Military Service is communicating the availability of these resources (and benefits) to your Service members? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan “Task List,” (December 1, 2016), Goal 2 – Victim Assistance and Advocacy, Objective 2.1, Tasks #1 & #10, p. 3) Summarize your effort The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program remains consistent in its commitment to support sexual assault victims with robust response, advocacy, and ongoing care. We recognize that victims/survivors enter our Air Force family through a variety of pathways with


diverse life histories and experiences. It is imperative to keep this guiding principle in mind when planning and exploring best practices that promote victim recovery and facilitate a culture of dignity and respect. These are critical considerations to an effective program service delivery and implementation. Highlighted below is an abbreviated list of significant courses of action taken to increase effective advocacy and care for all Service members:

• MAJOR COMMAND CONSULATION VISITS – In Fiscal Year 2018, the Headquarters Air Force SAPR Program conducted nine consultation visits to address the complexities of providing professional oversight for programs with multiple requirements and to inspire innovation, collaboration and effective engagement, which improves accuracy and efficiency. The goal of this initiative were multi-faceted in our efforts to increase proficiency and expand program capacity. Major Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinators were divided into two groups based on experience providing Major Command professional oversight to installation Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel. Those who had less than three years received a 5-day consultation visit, which focused on tactical program review, manpower resource monitoring, Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database data review, branding as a tool to raise awareness, and designing tools and resources to foster exceptional service delivery. Major Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinators with more than three years of experience received a 3-day visit with a primary focus on manpower resource monitoring, solution-based problem solving, building collaborative teams, Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database data review, and personnel development utilizing a comprehensive training plan. An executive summary was generated for each completed consultation visit. In Fiscal Year 2019, a consultation visit will be conducted for the remaining four Major Commands. Preliminary analysis indicates that Major Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinators are key to the success of installation Sexual Assault Prevention and Response programs, and despite challenges that may be unique to each location, their ability to actively monitor operations and offer ongoing mentoring has a positive effect on service delivery.

• POLICY UPDATE –Air Force Instruction 90-6001, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program, was updated with the publication of the Air Force Guidance Memorandum in October 2018. This update provided additional direction to commanders on sexual assault response policy and procedures, clarified policy intent, and assisted Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel in implementing their programs. Moreover, the Air Force has begun a major rewrite of Air Force Instruction 90-6001 for publication in 2019. This will identify potential resource constraints in accordance with Air Force governance to introduce upcoming victim assistance initiatives and strengthen overall program execution inside the continental United States, outside the continental United States, and the area of responsibility. When leaders, subject matter experts, stakeholders, and Airmen are familiar with and support Sexual Assault Prevention and Response policy and procedures, the Air Force is better positioned to reduce this serious crime.

• TRAINING - Numerous planning sessions were held during Fiscal Year 2018 to assess the growing needs and strengths of Major Command and installation level Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel. Based on findings, a proposal was drafted and approved to increase the number of hours for the initial Sexual Assault Response


Coordinator Course from seventy-two to eighty and to increase the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate Course hours from forty to fifty-six. The curriculum extension addressed key missing elements that increased core competencies and skills, which facilitate improved quality of advocacy and care to victims/survivors. The missing or enhanced elements incorporated exercises that required a demonstration of proficiency and included modules or exercises on self-care, vicarious trauma/burnout, cultural humility, expedited transfers, appropriate documentation, utilization of Volunteer Victim Advocates, facilitation skills, crisis intervention, safety assessments, and the CATCH a Serial Offender Program. In addition, there were eventful modifications to the pre- and post-assessments for these courses. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program also completed a total rewrite of the 40-hours Volunteer Victim Advocate curriculum with an emphasis on adult learning style principles. The new curriculum provides greater opportunity for observing students and their ability to synthesize and apply materials presented to them. Annual Total Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training received the same level of scrutiny, to maximize opportunities for critical improvements. To assist in these efforts and ensure timeliness, additional curriculum developers were contracted.

• DATA COLLECTION – The Air Force recognizes that data collection and management is one of the most important roles and responsibility of SAPR personnel. Timely data entry and more accurate and complete data, increases the ability to analyze and improve Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program efforts (e.g., victim advocacy support, training, etc.). The more that Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel become acquainted with the data they collect, the more they are able to recognize errors and performance gaps and identify solutions. The Air Force continues to regularly emphasize the value of their hard work and encourage their determination to minimize errors as an incentive for developing effective and efficient plans of action. This includes providing individualized seminars to each Major Command, disseminating information about and encouraging attendance to all Department of Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database webinars. Monthly case level reports and quality assurance tools are distributed to the field through the Major Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinators in an effort to improve accuracy and compliance.

• LEADERSHIP ENGAGEMENT- Another response system improvement initiative included a Tiger Team to advance specific goals aimed at improving victim care and recovery, increasing sexual assault reporting, and improving chain of command and system accountability. Participants included a multi-disciplinary team of functional experts from the medical, legal, investigative, personnel, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel, and leaders who were previous and sitting commanders. The Sexual Assault Response System Improvement committee prioritized five focus areas: 1) Build Quality Assurance processes for continuous evaluation of the sexual assault response system; 2) Re-evaluate Family Advocacy Program and Sexual Assault Response Coordinator roles and responsibilities to identify seams, gaps, and opportunities for unity of effort; 3) Advocate ways to enhance privacy, security, and confidentiality of mental health records potentially accessible during the justice process; 4) Develop additional methods and means to diversify options for reporting sexual assault incidents and engage leadership influencers; and 5)


Improve processes and programs for survivor transitions following a sexual assault report. These focus areas are intended to engage leaders at critical points in the post-assault response environment. The formalization of objectives and corresponding action items is planned for Calendar Year 2019.

Metrics for Assessing Victim Assistance and Advocacy: Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program efforts require daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly metrics to assist with assessing program effectiveness. All 24-hour notifications and 8-day reports are monitored and reviewed at the Headquarters Air Force level to ensure efficient and timely data entry and that victim care and support is consistently provided by all key stakeholders (e.g., commanders, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel, investigators, medical personnel, and legal representatives). Weekly reports monitor the expedited transfer procedures. Monthly quality assurance tools are utilized to measure the fidelity and accuracy of data, which directly impacts victim care and support. Quarterly reports provide the opportunity to review a broad range of advocacy efforts and service delivery (e.g. training, community awareness, Department of Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program, Volunteer Victim Advocate utilization, tracking suspensions and revocations, etc.). A proposed dashboard was drafted and introduced to the field and several Major Commands are currently piloting its use as a type of “storyboard” to capture quality response. Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate Certification and Renewal: Air Force commanders, who have access to information in personnel records, are utilized to assist with vetting all civilian and military Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel along with an application and interview provided to the Major Commands. This is a coordinated effort between commanders and the Civilian Personnel Office at each installation. When adverse actions for full-time or volunteer personnel associated with Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program are revealed, swift measures are taken per Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response policy in which parties are removed from their responsibilities involving direct contact with victims until the matter has been adjudicated. If there are negative final findings, appropriate actions are taken to suspend or revoke credentials. The Headquarters Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program maintains regular and consistent communications with the field to encourage, share, and monitor completion of continuing education hours as required by Sexual Assault Prevention and Response policy. Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate Suspension, Revocation, and Reinstatement: The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, with direct recommendations from installation commanders and vice commanders, suspended and revoked credentials for four Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and four Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocates. At this time, the Headquarters Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program has not found it necessary to make any changes in policy regarding Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate suspension and revocation.

Initiatives to Improve Response to and Reporting by Male Sexual Assault Victims: The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program continues to provide information and education about male victimization as part of the initial and annual refresher training for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel. Training addresses topics such as unique barriers to reporting, providing advocacy for and outreach to male victims, etc. to ensure Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel have a better understanding of how to be responsive when male victims come forward to report. In 2018, Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program worked with 1 in 6, a national male victimization advocacy organization, to provide additional training to our Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel. Sexual Assault Response Coordinators have seen a slight increase of male victims reporting sexual assault, and are continually monitoring reporting and available resources specific to this demographic. The Air Force strives to provide awareness of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program that is gender responsive, culturally competent, and recovery-oriented. Military Protective Orders: In Fiscal Year 2018, there were 104 Military Protective Orders issued as a result of an Unrestricted Reports; of those, three were violated. During this reporting period, the Air Force included additional details in the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Commander’s Talking Points regarding the option to issue No Contact Orders or Military Protective Orders as well as the requirement to notify law enforcement when a Military Protective Order is issued as a result of an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault. This was an effort to improve protections and reinforce commanders’ understanding of their options.


Coordination with Non-Department of Defense Resources: To improve interoperability and identify additional available resources for victims and witnesses served by the Air Force Victim and Witness Assistance Program, several Air Force Victim and Witness Assistance Program Coordinators and the Chief of Victim and Witness Policy, Military Justice Division attended the National Crime Victims’ Law Conference. In addition, numerous Special Victims’ Counsel along with personnel from the Air Force Judiciary and Military Justice Division attended the National Sexual Assault Conference to learn about victim response organizations outside the Department of Defense. The conference gave attendees the opportunity to identify best practices across the federal government as well as improve Air Force programs that provide support to victims and witnesses of crime in the military setting. Finally, several victim response organizations from outside the Department of Defense presented at the Air Force’s first in-residence Victim and Witness Assistance Program training for Victim and Witness Assistance Program Coordinators. Having these presenters provide information directly to individual program coordinators will ensure that installation level programs have knowledge of and access to relevant national and local programs providing services to victims and witnesses enhancing program interoperability between DoD and non-DoD organizations.

2.2 Briefly describe your leadership-approved future plans to deliver consistent and effective advocacy and care for all Service members or their adult dependents. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program has and continues to provide a trained, certified, and ready response to all Service members or their adult dependents who experience sexual assault in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act and Department of Defense requirements. The Air Force also extended this response system to Department of Defense civilian employees—recognizing that a healthy Total Force is a lethal Air Force. This was approved through an exception to policy to Department of Defense Instruction 6495.02, granted by the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. The Air Force is committed to ensuring that all Airmen receive world-class care when coming forward to report an incident of sexual assault. In pursuit of the highest level of service to Airmen, every effort is made to ensure continuing education, providing consistent and direct communication to the field, and


conducting regular assessments of programs, policies, and procedures regarding the care of our Airmen. As described in section 2.1, the Sexual Assault Response System Improvement committee prioritized five focus areas. These focus areas are intended to engage leaders at critical points in the post-assault response environment. The formalization of objectives and corresponding action items is planned for Calendar Year 2019. During 2018, 100 attorneys and paralegals in Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Division actively represented over 970 sexual assault victims in courts-martial, hearings, victim interviews, and meetings with investigators, prosecutors, defense counsel, Staff Judge Advocates and convening authorities, and countless other out-of-court alternative dispositions that satisfied the victims’ goals and interests. The Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Division continues to promote the enforcement of sexual assault victims’ privileges and rights within all military branches by representing Air Force members in sister services’ courts, through leadership provided to the congressionally mandated Inter-Services Committee, and by providing training to incoming Special Victims’ Counsel/Victim Legal Counsel. The requirement to complete a certification course was initiated when the Special Victims’ Counsel Program began in 2013 with part-time Special Victims’ Counsel. To ensure that every Special Victims’ Counsel Division member is certified, incoming personnel attend an annual Air Force Judge Advocate General’s School certification course for both adult and child clients. The Air Force Judge Advocate General’s School provides the Special Victims’ Counsel Course, which is a 10-day course at Maxwell Air Force Base. At the Special Victims’ Counsel Course 2018, 3 incoming Senior Special Victims’ Counsel, 27 incoming Special Victims’ Counsel, and 11 incoming Special Victim Paralegals received 52 blocks of instruction regarding representation of adult and child victims of sexual assault. The course also included 54 incoming Special Victims’ Counsel/Victims’ Legal Counsel from our sister services. Student feedback included appreciation for joint service training, subject matter expert instructors, and training blocks on practical application of the law. Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel and Special Victims’ Paralegals who could not attend the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Course, could instead attend the Army Judge Advocate General Legal Center and School certification courses. In Fiscal Year 2018, 8 Special Victims’ Counsel and 5 Special Victim Paralegals attended the Army adult representation certification courses. 1 Special Victim Paralegal attended the child portion of the course. Additionally, the Army Special Victims’ Counsel Program invited 3 Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel personnel to be instructors at the Army Adult certification courses. In this reporting period, Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel conducted and received advanced training at Service courses and civilian organizational conferences. Special Victims’ Counsel attended specialized litigation training at the Air Force Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course and the Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course. In December 2017, the Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course-Pacific Air Forces was conducted at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. In April 2018, Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course –United States Air Forces in Europe was conducted at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany. In May 2018, the Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course-West was conducted at Travis Air Force Base in California. In


August 2018, Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course -Central was conducted at Joint Base San-Antonio in Texas. Due to the budget impasse in 2017, the Eastern Circuit Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course was postponed until October 2018. The Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course was conducted at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and six Special Victims’ Counsel attended. In August 2018, the Air Force Trial Judiciary presented the Air Force Circuit Advocacy Training. All the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel leadership (Division Chief, Associate Chief, Deputy Chief, Chief of Appellate and Outreach and 5 Senior Special Victims’ Counsel) attended the Air Force Circuit Advocacy Training in order to maximize the available time between headquarters and the Senior Special Victims’ Counsel assigned throughout the world. The Special Victims’ Counsel Division participated in the annual Judge Advocate Appellate Training by providing faculty and 9 Special Victims’ Counsel attendees. The Division provides training and networking opportunities by attending civilian conferences. In the reporting period, the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Division sent 15 Special Victims’ Counsel and 10 Special Victims’ Paralegals to the National Crime Victims Law Institute, 17 Special Victims’ Counsel and 3 Special Victims’ Paralegals to the National Sexual Assault Conference, and 8 Special Victims’ Counsel and 5 Special Victims Paralegals to the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault. All of the above mentioned training will be provided again to new personnel in the upcoming year. The Special Victims’ Counsel Division Chief provides training to commanders at every Senior Leaders’ Orientation Course, which includes the incoming Wing, Vice Wing and Group Commanders. The Special Victims’ Counsel Division Chief provides training to Family Advocacy Program personnel by briefing at their annual conferences, one for medical providers and another for advocacy personnel. The Special Victims’ Counsel Associate Chief provides training at the Office of Special Investigations’ Sexual Crimes Intermediate Training Program, which is offered five times a year. The Special Victims’ Counsel Associate Chief also provides training regarding victims’ rights at the initial Sexual Assault Response Coordinator/Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate courses conducted at Maxwell Air Force Base six times a year. Regularly, Special Victims’ Counsel in the field provide specialized training to trial counsel, paralegals, victim-witness assistance personnel, Military Criminal Investigation Operations, Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocates, ensuring they receive updates about victims’ rights. Special Victims’ Counsel offer training to installation legal offices whenever the Special Victims’ Counsel travels for litigation purposes. Special Victims’ Counsel and Special Victims’ Paralegals provide training at Commander’s Calls, First Sergeant’s meetings and other installation level training in order to inform them of legal updates in victims’ rights. When briefing legal updates regarding victims' rights, Special Victims’ Counsel/Special Victims’ Paralegal’s cover a variety of topics, to include (but not limited to) the right to be protected from the accused, the right to notice, the right to confer with the government and the right to be treated with fairness and respect for the victim’s privacy. Ensuring victims of sexual assault have access to quality advocacy and care through a trained and ready response capability remains a top priority for the Air Force. To achieve this goal, the Air Force will continue to provide superior training, policy guidance, quality control and consultation to the field. In addition to annual refresher and formal training course refinement, the Air Force provides monthly calls with Major Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinators to provide


policy guidance and operational support. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program has conducted Consultation Site Visits to provide professional oversight and mentoring to Major Command Sexual Assault Response Coordinators. The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program continues to work in close consultation with the Inspector General to develop and define Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Special Interest Items for installation-level inspections as well as consults with the Air Force Audit Agency to review areas of consideration for audits that focus on program execution and compliance. Audits have a different focus to ensure maximum coverage of all essential program elements. Lastly, the Air Force will continue to collaborate with the Department of Defense and the Services on resources and policy to enhance advocacy and care to victims of sexual assault. An updated Air Force SAPR policy will be released in 2019 to provide critical policy updates to assist in consistent and effective advocacy. 3. Goal 3—Investigation 3.1 Summarize your efforts for achieving the Investigation goal to “sustain a high level of competence in the investigation of adult sexual assault using investigative resources to yield timely results.” (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 3 – Investigation, p. 9) In this strategic summary, include significant updates and/or force-wide changes describing how your Military Service is addressing the following topics. There is no need to repeat prior Annual Report submissions if these processes have remained largely the same as in prior years. Overall Approach: What force-wide initiatives did your Military Service employ this year to improve investigation of sexual assault cases? What enhancements have been made to your Military Services’ Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution Capability for Military Criminal Investigative Organizations? (DoDI 5509.19, “Establishment of Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) Capability within the Military Criminal Investigative Organizations (MCIOs)”) Metrics for Assessing Investigation Effectiveness: What metrics are being used to assess the effectiveness of investigation efforts intended to sustain a high level of competence in the investigation of adult sexual assault? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 3 – Investigation, p. 9) MCIO, Law Enforcement, and Other First Responder Training: What updates have been made to the training of your Military Service MCIO and other DoD law enforcement activity (LEA) resources assigned to conduct an investigation of adult sexual assault? Please include an update on training you are providing to law enforcement who are the first to respond to an adult sexual assault scene where the MCIO won't be able to respond for days. Specifically, what training does law enforcement receive for speaking with a sexual assault victim and preserving evidence (on the victim and on the physical scene) in remote or austere environments (e.g., in a submarine that won't surface for a week because of mission security requirements)? Additionally, describe any updates to training and guidance for all


first responders to a sexual assault allegation, ensuring the preservation of evidence and witness testimony. (DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures,” (May 24, 2017), Encl 10, para 4p and 7e / DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan “Task List,” (December 1, 2016), Goal 3 – Investigation, Objective 3.1, Task #1, p. 4 / DoDI 5505.18, “Investigation of Adult Sexual Assault in the Department of Defense,” (March, 22 2017), para 3.3, p. 7) Evidence Processing Challenges: Have you had any challenges with evidence being processed at the Defense Forensic Science Center (e.g., turnaround time for processing of Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) kits and other evidence) and how did you address these challenges? (Joint Chiefs of Staff Strategic Direction to the Joint Force on SAPR (May 7, 2012), p. 11) Collaboration and Interoperability with Civilian Law Enforcement: What continuing efforts are being made to increase collaboration and improve interoperability with civilian law enforcement to include sharing information on Civilian and Military Protective Orders and assuring receipt of civilian case dispositions? (DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures,” (July 7, 2015), Encl 4, para 3g) Overall Approach The continued emphasis by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations on investigating the history of individuals accused of sexual offenses does seem to be leading to more serial offenders being identified . Recently AFOSI initiated a comprehensive study, with analysts provided by the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office, to assess the extent to which AFOSI's new protocol is successful in identifying serial sexual offenders. This collaborative study, scheduled to end in Spring of 2019, will help further development of training and investigation protocols, aiding in the identification of serial perpetrators. In an effort to further develop cross-disciplinary collaboration with personnel assigned to the Air Force Special Victims’ Counsel Division, senior Air Force Office of Special Investigations personnel made presentations at the Special Victims’ Certification Counsel entry level training, held at the Air Force Judge Advocate General School. This afforded an opportunity to foster better communication and collaborative approaches to assist victims of sexual offenses. Air Force Security Forces leadership continued to support assigning investigator resources to augment Air Force Office of Special Investigations to conduct non-penetration sexual offense cases. At the end of Fiscal Year 2018, 30 Security Forces personnel were working jointly as Joint Sexual Assault Team investigators in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations field offices. Metrics for Assessing Investigation Effectiveness The Air Force Office of Special Investigations maintained timely delivery of sexual assault investigations in Fiscal Year 2018. The median time to conduct and publish Reports of Investigations in over 1,000 adult victim sexual assault cases remained at 75 days. The office is confident investigation timeliness will be sustained in Fiscal Year 2019 by maintaining and monitoring this timeliness metric throughout the year.


The Air Force Office of Special Investigations continued its robust case quality review process in Fiscal Year 2018. Headquarters case quality reviewers randomly select and review 10 percent of all closed sexual offense investigations conducted by Air Force Office of Special Investigations field units. During Fiscal Year 2018, headquarters case quality reviewers randomly selected 115 sexual assault investigations for review. In only two cases (1.7%) did headquarters case reviewers disagree with investigation sufficiency determinations by field supervisors. Military Criminal Investigation Organization, Law Enforcement, and Other First Responder Training In Fiscal Year 2018, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations held four iterations of its 64 hour Sexual Crimes Investigations Training Program course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia. In total, 109 Air Force Office of Special Investigations agents, Air Force Judge Advocate General Officers, and Security Forces members assigned to Air Force Office of Special Investigations-Security Forces Joint Sexual Assault Teams received training in various advanced techniques related to sexual assault investigations. The training included cognitive biases, counter-intuitive victim behaviors, cognitive interviewing, trauma and chemical impaired memory, dynamics of domestic and intimate partner sexual assaults, new or changing Uniform Code of Military Justice sexual offenses, etc. In November 2017, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations conducted a comprehensive review of Sexual Crimes Investigations Training Program curricula, which led to the addition of a two-hour block of training into the course starting in Fiscal Year 2018. The new material focuses on domestic and intimate partner violence with in-class case studies, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with members of installation-level Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution teams. The new training also presents examples of the need for well-developed safety plans for victims of domestic and intimate partner violence. Sexual Crimes Investigations Training Program end-of-course attendee critiques continued to be favorable with an overall rating average of 4.5 on a five-point scale. Evidence Processing Challenges The Air Force Office of Special Investigations continued to receive high-quality forensic sciences laboratory support to sexual assault cases from the Defense Forensic Science Center. Defense Forensic Science Center’s turn-around-times for analyses of deoxyribonucleic acid evidence in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations sexual assault cases averaged 68 days in Fiscal Year 2018. Collaboration and Interoperability with Civilian Law Enforcement The Air Force Office of Special Investigations units across the Total Force continued their dedicated efforts to conduct effective liaison with their civilian law enforcement counterparts at the local, state, and federal level within their areas of responsibility, including with foreign law enforcement in countries throughout the world. Additionally, Air Force Office of Special Investigations initiated an unprecedented quality control review and correction process in which all case files from 1998 to 2017 were reviewed to ensure every case file was accurately indexed into the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Crime Information Center. 3.2 Briefly describe your leadership-approved future plans to sustain a high level of competence in the investigation of adult sexual assault.


The Air Force Office of Special Investigations will sustain a high level of competence in the investigation of adult sexual assault through continued programmatic focus, conducting quality training, and engaging in robust oversight of investigations. The Sexual Crimes Investigations Training Program will continue to be held four times per year; 120 Special Agents, Security Forces and Judge Advocates will continue to be trained in Sexual Crimes Investigations Training Program in Fiscal Year 2019. In addition, Headquarters Air Force Office of Special Investigations quality case reviews will continue to be conducted on adult victims sexual assault cases. The Department of Defense Inspector General has informed the Air Force Office of Special Investigations that they will continue to review Air Force Office of Special Investigations's sexual assault cases through periodic assessments. Air Force Office of Special Investigationss will also maintain a 75-day median investigation completion time target for adult victim sexual assault cases. The Air Force Office of Special Investigations senior leaders will receive monthly reporting on compliance with the 75-day metric. Air Force Security Forces updated Air Force Instruction 31-118, Security Forces Standards and Procedures, effective 21 December 2017, detailing when and how military protective orders are entered in the National Crime Information Center database. This will provide awareness of Military Protective Orders to civilian Law Enforcement agencies nationwide. 4. Goal 4—Accountability 4.1 Summarize your efforts to achieve the Accountability goal to “maintain a high competence in holding alleged offenders appropriately accountable.” (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 4 – Accountability, p. 9) In this strategic summary, include significant updates and/or force-wide changes describing how your Military Service is addressing the following topics. There is no need to repeat prior Annual Report submissions if these processes have remained largely the same as in prior years. Overall Approach: What force-wide initiatives did your Military Service employ this year to improve legal support to Service members and adult family members who reported a sexual assault? What enhancements have been made to the SAPR training provided to those who are affiliated with the Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution Capability program (paralegals, trial counsel, and victim-witness assistance personnel) for responding to allegations of sexual assault? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan “Task List,” (December 1, 2016), Goal 4 – Accountability, Objective 4.1, Task #1, p. 4) Metrics for Assessing Accountability Effectiveness: What metrics are being used to assess the effectiveness of holding alleged offenders appropriately accountable, to include your Military Service’s metrics for measuring the success of the Special Victims’ Counsel (SVC) / Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC) program? (NDAA for FY 2016, section 532 / NDAA for FY 2013, section 573 / SecDef Memo (August 14, 2013), Improving Victim Legal Support, p. 1) Keeping Leaders and Responders Informed of Updates on Victim Rights and Military Justice Updates: How are you ensuring that SARCs, SAPR VAs, MCIOs, and commanders


are informed of recent victim rights and military justice updates? (DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures,” (July 7, 2015), Encl 10, para 7) Special Victims’ Counsel (SVC) / Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC) Program Enhancements: What enhancements has your Military Service made to the SVC/VLC program over the last year? Describe efforts to fund these programs in the future through the POM process. (SecDef Memo (August 14, 2013), Improving Victim Legal Support, p. 1 / NDAA for FY 2016, section 532 / NDAA for FY 2013, section 573) Victim Non-Participation in the Military Justice System: What insight and/or reasons can you provide that may explain the declining number of victims choosing to participate in the military justice system over the last few years? (DoD Annual Report Metric #7, previously Metric #8) Overall Approach Judge advocates, paralegals, Victim and Witness Assistance Program personnel, and legal assistance attorneys must complete specialized Sexual Assault Prevention and Response First Responder training on an annual basis. This self-guided training covers a variety of topics including restricted and unrestricted reporting options, the role of the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and Victim Advocate, transitional compensation, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program and victim’s rights, and training on working with victims of trauma and sexual assault. This training is completed in accordance with the requirements of Department of Defense Instruction 6495.02, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Procedures, Enclosure 10, paragraph 7. Each year, the training is reviewed by functional experts and updated with changes in the law and developing trends of interest to the legal community. The Air Force’s Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution capability is comprised of judge advocates and paralegals who have taken the First Responder training course. In addition to the general training provided to those noted above, all judge advocates with duties in military justice involving the investigation, disposition, prosecution, or defense of sexual assault cases must complete an additional training focused specifically on the mechanics of a sexual assault case and issues of interest during the investigation, charging, prosecution, and appellate stages of a case. The fiscal year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act provided one of the most meaningful revisions to the military justice process in over 30 years. Following its passage, comprehensive training was conducted for all military justice practitioners on the changes contained in the fiscal year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act throughout 2018. All active duty judge advocates, paralegals, and civilian members with military justice duties in the Air Force completed this training by 1 September 2018. All reserve component judge advocates and paralegals completed the same training by 1 November 2018. Of particular relevance, there was a distinct portion of this training devoted specifically to crime victim’s rights under the updated law. This year, the Air Force also designed, developed, and executed its first in residence training for Victim and Witness Assistance Program Coordinators to ensure personnel are informed of changes in victim rights and the military justice process as well as how to most effectively work and coordinate with Special Victims’ Counsel.


Air Force Legal Operations Agency annually conduct Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course in five circuit-wide trainings. Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course is particularly designed to increase the prosecution capability not only of Circuit Trial Counsel, but also to ensure that specialized knowledge filters down to the local trial counsel. The initiative of Circuit-wide Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Courses enabled new trial counsel across the Air Force to attend sexual assault-focused litigation training before working on and prosecuting sexual assault cases. Additionally, considerable blocks of training in two areas were added this year: discovery and corroboration. Discovery training is particularly important to avoid delays in prosecutions. Corroboration training focuses on effective teaming with investigative agencies to secure appropriate evidence for trial as well as additional steps legal offices can take to ensure evidence is available and admissible at trial. Military justice subject matter experts also lead training for senior counsel in the Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course. The Air Force is continually looking for outside sources that can increase our ability to effectively prosecute these very serious crimes. Metrics for Assessing Accountability Effectiveness: The Air Force Victim Impact Survey records the opinions of crime victims represented by Special Victims’ Counsel on the court-martial process from investigation through sentencing. Victim Impact Survey results are provided to Judge Advocate General’s Corps leadership and the Special Victims’ Counsel community on a quarterly basis in order to make continued improvement to victim services. In 2018, crime victim feedback regarding the Special Victims’ Counsel Division continued to be exceptionally positive. An impressive 85% of clients surveyed indicated they were "extremely satisfied" with their Special Victims’ Counsel’s representation, and 15% were "satisfied," resulting in an overall 100% satisfaction rate. Not only was every represented victim satisfied with their Special Victims’ Counsel, 100% of victims would recommend seeking Special Victims’ Counsel representation to another victim of sexual assault. Keeping Leaders and Responders Informed of Updates on Victim Rights and Military Justice Updates: The Air Force Judge Advocate General’s School provides legal training that prepares wing, vice wing, and group commanders to exercise authorities assigned to them under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. This legal training, called the Senior Officer Legal Orientation, includes instruction on military justice issues to include sexual assault cases and victims’ rights. Military justice updates are provided through various methods and functional experts to maximize efforts. First, the military justice division provides real-time notices and virtual training upon the passage of any legislation affecting the practice of military justice, to include victim’s rights under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Staff Judge Advocates further communicate these changes to commanders through annual training on each installation on military justice policy and regulations. Victim and Witness Assistance Program Coordinators are provided updates on the law through military justice division notices and training provided by the Air Force Judge Advocate General’s School. Victim and Witness Assistance Program Coordinators assist in communicating changes to


policy and law through annual Victim and Witness Assistance Program Council meetings and through the use of mandatory Victim and Witness Assistance Program training requirements. The government trial counsel division seeks every opportunity to provide training to Staff Judge Advocates at every level, both when they enter their position at the Staff Judge Advocate Course as well as speaking at the Major Command Sponsored Staff Judge Advocate Symposiums or trainings that are offered throughout the year. Additionally, government trial counsel leadership teaches at every litigation course offered by Air Force Judge Advocate General’s School as well as the Annual Survey of the Law, designed to keep reservist attorneys abreast of the military justice updates. Additionally, Senior Trial Counsel regularly provide training to legal office and investigative agency personnel on military justice updates and developments in the appellate courts before, during and immediately after the completion of a trial. Further, as noted in §2.2 above, the Special Victims’ Counsel Division provides training regarding victims’ rights to Wing and Group-level commanders at the Senior Officer Legal Orientation, Military Criminal Investigation Operations agents at the Sexual Crimes Intermediate Training Program, and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel at the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Course. Special Victims’ Counsel (SVC) / Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC) Program Enhancements: Beginning in August 2018, the Special Victims’ Counsel Division initiated Character and Strength Summits designed to focus on assault victim-specific mental health issues, wellness, and resiliency. Four summits were held between August-September 2018. Personnel received training on working with trauma victims and clients experiencing suicidal thoughts, in addition to secondary stress and vicarious trauma risks presented by representing sexual assault victims. These summits also featured in-depth self-care training to include understanding risk factors and protective factors for secondary stress, vicarious trauma, and burnout. Other topics included establishing appropriate attorney/paralegal-client boundaries, mindfulness, and identifying and maximizing personal strengths. Overall feedback for the summits was excellent and indicated participants appreciate the information – several attendees have noted that Special Victims’ Counsel and Special Victims’ Paralegals are now more willing to discuss personal stressors posed by the practice and measures to manage that stress. Victim Non-Participation in the Military Justice System: Sexual assault victims have a myriad of unique and personal reasons for declining to participate in the military justice system to include apprehension regarding the justice process, privacy concerns, and a desire to focus on personal recovery. The process from the commission of a crime through court-martial is difficult, especially for a victim of sexual assault. It takes months to adequately investigate and get to trial. Additionally, the process often requires multiple interviews covering sensitive topics. Prosecution requires in-person testimony subject to cross-examination and embarrassing personal information unrelated to the assault has the potential of being admitted at trial. However, based upon recent changes, victims now have a larger voice in the military justice process than in years past and with that voice, victims are choosing to not participate if it best suits their needs for recovery and a sense of justice.


4.2 Briefly describe your leadership-approved future plans to maintain a high competence in holding alleged offenders appropriately accountable. Judge advocates, paralegals, Victim and Witness Assistance Program personnel, and legal assistance attorneys must complete specialized Sexual Assault Prevention and Response First Responder training on an annual basis. This self-guided training covers a variety of topics including restricted and unrestricted reporting options, the role of the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and Victim Advocate, transitional compensation, the Special Victims’ Counsel Program and victim’s rights, and training on working with victims of trauma and sexual assault. This training is completed in accordance with the requirements of Department of Defense Instruction 6495.02, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program Procedures, Enclosure 10, paragraph 7. Each year, the training is reviewed by functional experts and updated with changes in the law and developing trends of interest to the legal community. The Air Force’s Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution capability is comprised of judge advocates and paralegals who have taken the First Responder training course.

The fiscal year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act provided one of the most significant revisions to the military justice process in over 30 years. Following its passage, comprehensive training was conducted for all military justice practitioners on the changes contained in the fiscal year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act throughout 2018. All active duty judge advocates, paralegals, and civilian members with military justice duties in the Air Force completed this training by 1 September 2018. All reserve component judge advocates and paralegals completed the same training by 1 November 2018. Of particular relevance, there was a distinct portion of this training devoted specifically to crime victim’s rights under the updated law. This year, the Air Force also designed, developed, and executed its first in residence training for Victim and Witness Assistance Program Coordinators to ensure personnel are informed of changes in victim rights and the military justice process as well as how to most effectively work and coordinate with Special Victims’ Counsel. Lessons learned from the inaugural training will be incorporated into the second rendition of the course slated for March 2019. Military justice leaders annually conduct the Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course in five circuit-wide trainings. Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Course is particularly designed to increase the prosecution capability not only of Circuit Trial Counsel, but also to ensure that specialized knowledge filters down to the local trial counsel. The initiative of Circuit-wide Intermediate Sexual Assault Litigation Courses enabled new trial counsel across the Air Force to attend sexual assault-focused litigation training before working on and prosecuting sexual assault cases. Additionally, considerable blocks of training in two areas were added this year: discovery and corroboration. Discovery training is particularly important to avoid delays in prosecutions. Corroboration training focuses on effective teaming with investigative agencies to secure appropriate evidence for trial as well as additional steps legal offices can take to ensure evidence is available and admissible at trial. Military justice subject matter experts also lead training for


senior counsel in the Advanced Sexual Assault Litigation Course. The Air Force is continually looking for outside sources that can increase our ability to effectively prosecute these very serious crimes. 5. Goal 5—Assessment 5.1 Summarize your efforts for achieving the Assessment goal to “effectively measure, analyze, assess, and report SAPR Program progress to improve effectiveness.” (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 5 – Assessment, p. 10) In this strategic summary, include significant updates and/or force-wide changes describing how your Military Service is addressing the following topics. There is no need to repeat prior Annual Report submissions if these processes have remained largely the same as in prior years. Oversight Activities: What are your efforts to enhance SAPR Program oversight activities, to include the use of recent surveys (e.g., WGRA, WGRR, and DEOCS) and insights from the Government Accountability Office, advisory committees, and internal inspections to improve your programs and services? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021, (December 1, 2016), Goal 5 – Assessment, Objective 5.2, p. 10 / DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan “Task List,” (December 1, 2016), Goal 5 – Assessment, Objective 5.1, Tasks #2 & #6, p. 4) Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID): What force-wide initiatives did your Military Service employ this year to ensure the quality, reliability, and validity of data collected in DSAID? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017-2021 (December 1, 2016), Goal 5 – Assessment, Objective 5.1, p. 10 / DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures,” (May 24, 2017), Encl 2, para 6ad) SARC/VA and Healthcare Provider Training Effectiveness: How is your Military Service assessing the training provided to SARCs/VAs and healthcare providers? What actions, if any, have been taken to implement any new training over the past year? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan “Task List,” (December 1, 2016), Goal 5 – Assessment, Objective 5.1, Tasks #4 & #5, p. 4) Retention of DD Forms 2910 & 2911: Has your Military Service experienced any challenge(s) in fulfilling the 50-year retention of DD Form 2910 (Victim Reporting Preference Statement) and DD Form 2911 (DoD Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Report)? If yes, what actions have been taken to mitigate the challenge(s)? (NDAA for FY 2014, section 1723 / DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures,” (May 24, 2017), para 4u) (Army & NGB) GAO Report: Sexual Assault – Better Resource Management Needed to Improve Prevention and Response in the Army National Guard (ANG) and Army Reserve (USAR): What actions has been taken to comply with the subject GAO Report (i.e.,


assessment of staffing approaches used to administer the SAPR program; communication and dissemination of budget guidance for the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) Program to all full-time SHARP personnel; monitoring and providing oversight of SHARP program expenditures at the ANG and USAR command level; reassessment of the Office of Complex Administrative Investigation’s timeliness and resources; and development of an expedited line-of-duty determination process for USAR sexual assault victims? (GAO-17-217 (February 27, 2017) / DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan “Task List,” (December 1, 2016), Goal 5 – Assessment, Objective 5.1, Task #6, p. 4) SARC/VA and Healthcare Provider Training Effectiveness: The Air Force remains steadfast in providing the highest quality victim care by ensuring Sexual Assault Response Coordinators, Sexual Assault Victim Advocates and Volunteer Victim Advocates receive comprehensive, high quality training to prepare them for their role in the sexual assault coordinated community response. The Air Force Resilience Office works collaboratively with the Air Education and Training Command’s Air University to deliver four initial entry training courses annually for new Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocates. Students complete a quiz on pre-reading materials, pre-assessments, and post-assessments to measure effectiveness in meeting learning objectives. On average, the post-assessment showed a 9-point increase to student learning with all fiscal year 2018, students scoring 70 percent or better. In addition to direct student assessment, end of the course reviews and overall annual reviews inform course enhancements and modifications. Reviews assess relevance of content, quality of instruction, course material, trend data, best and worst area(s) of instruction, course strengths and recommended improvements. Every two years, Air University and the Air Force Resilience Office conduct an in-depth curriculum review and assessment to ensure the current curriculum meets Department of Defense and Air Force requirements, core competencies, learning objectives and expands on adult learning techniques. In fiscal year 2018, the course review indicated a need to increase training hours to expand upon required curriculum content and incorporate more role plays and exercises. The new curriculum, launched in October 2018, includes 16 additional hours of training for Sexual Assault Response Victim Advocates and 8 additional hours for Sexual Assault Response Coordinators.. The Air Force launched a new Volunteer Victim Advocate training curriculum in October 2018. This training, facilitated by installation-level Sexual Assault Response Coordinators, incorporated sweeping changes based upon four years of assessment and evaluation. The curriculum expanded the use of role plays, videos and group activities to maximize adult learning. Of note, was the extension to the Department of Defense Form 2910 and Defense Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program modules to provide more time for review, discussion and demonstration. Additionally, a module on purposeful measures of self-care was incorporated to ensure Volunteer Victim Advocates possess the necessary self-care skills to properly support victims of sexual assault. Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training for healthcare providers is provided to all healthcare and non-healthcare providers who work in Military Treatment Facilities or associated clinics. Participants must complete a knowledge check at the conclusion of the training to ensure


mastery of core competencies. The training is reviewed annually and updated to ensure compliance with Department of Defense and Air Force requirements. . Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database (DSAID): The Air Force is committed to ensuring Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database data quality, reliability and validity. To achieve these objectives, the Air Force leverages Major Command leadership in monthly quality control utilizing the Department of Defense Quality Assurance Tool. Further, Headquarters Air Force staff work directly with other stakeholders such as the Air Force Office of Special Investigationss, Legal and installation Sexual Assault Response Coordinators as necessary to ensure records are correct and complete. The Air Force also provides several training opportunities to build user proficiency. Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database webinars are provided to newly trained Sexual Assault Response Coordinators upon completion of the Sexual Assault Response Coordinators initial training course. The annual refresher training for Sexual Assault Response Coordinators offered Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database training focused on frequently asked questions, trends in data entry errors and pertinent upgrades to the system. Advanced developers hands-on conference training is available and has been provided to Major Commands upon request. Lastly, Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database error trends and pertinent information is shared as part of the monthly Major Command teleconference to ensure transparency and reduce errors. Retention of DD Forms 2910 & 2911: The Air Force retains Department of Defense Forms 2910 and 2911 in accordance with National Defense Authorization Act and Department of Defense instructions. In 2018, the Air Force completed an enterprise-wide review of Department of Defense Form 2910 retention as part of a larger Department of Defense initiative. While there were no systemic challenges identified in retaining Department of Defense Forms 2910, through enhanced quality control standards and increased Sexual Assault Response Coordinator training, the Air Force will continue to ensure compliance with Department of Defense Forms 2910 retention requirements. Department of Defense Form 2911 or civilian Sexual Assault Forensic Exam reports from Sexual Assault Forensic Exam kits collected in Unrestricted Reports are uploaded as a soft copy into the Air Force Office of Special Investigationss’ case management system, as well as the hard copy retained in the investigative case file. In Restricted Reports, the Department of Defense 2911 forms are stored within the sealed Sexual Assault Forensic Exam kits. 5.2 Describe your leadership-approved future plans to further improve the achievement of the Assessment goal. Continual improvement and enhancement is critical to providing innovative prevention and response capabilities across the Air Force. For 2019, the Air Force intends to streamline the reporting process and data collection methodology. Streamlining the process will be accomplished by communicating errors, recognizing performance gaps, and improving training and tools to reduce future errors. Performance gaps will be measured through error rate and surveys to ensure top priority issues are addressed. Training will be tracked to ensure personnel are fully compliant and knowledgeable. Focus groups and training evaluations will be used to measure effectiveness of curriculum development in these areas.


6. Core Functions: Communication and Policy 6.1 Provide a brief summary for new efforts taken in FY 2018 on the following: Publicizing Sexual Assault Reporting Options: Is your Military Service using any new or expanded initiatives to publicize the sexual assault restricted and unrestricted reporting options to your Service members and adult dependents? (DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures,” (May 24, 2017), Encl 4) Retaliation Training: How has the topic of retaliation been incorporated into supervisor (officer, enlisted, and civilian) and SAPR training curricula? What are the critical themes, core competencies, and learning objectives for retaliation training? Does it provide instruction on resources available for victims to report retaliation and the availability of a General/Flag Officer review when a victim is separated within one year of final disposition of his/her sexual assault case? (DoD Retaliation Prevention and Response Implementation Plan (January 2017), p. 13-14 / DoDI 6495.02, “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program Procedures,” (May 24, 2017), Encl 4, para 7g) Military/Veteran Service Organization (MSO/VSO), Federal Partner, and Congressional Outreach: What has your Military Service done to develop and implement MSO/VSO, federal partner, and/or congressional outreach to communicate and/or enhance sexual assault-related policy initiatives? (DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan “Task List,” (December 1, 2016), Core Function – Communications, Tasks #2 & #4, p. 4) Publicizing Sexual Assault Reporting Options: The Air Force continues to employ multiple efforts to ensure that all Airmen are aware of reporting options and that victims have the information necessary to make an informed decision. The majority of publication efforts occur at the installation and command-level with Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocates facilitating education of command personnel (e.g. Commanders, Chief Master Sergeants, and senior civilians) on victim advocacy services. They also facilitate the development of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response public awareness campaigns and collaborate with other agencies and activities, both on and off the installation. Sexual Assault Reporting options are printed and displayed in high visibility areas. Leaders and Airmen are directed to the Department of Defense and Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response websites for information on reporting options. In addition, AF/A1Z developed Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Talking Points for commanders to communicate with their Airmen on various sexual assault related topics. One titled “Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Reporting Options” provides information on reporting options and key differences of each option. Airmen are encouraged to ask questions during the Talking points discussions and to visit their installation Sexual Assault Response Coordinators for additional information. Retaliation Training: Currently, retaliation training has been incorporated into all supervisor, first responder Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate and


Volunteer Victim Advocate, and annual training curricula. The training addresses the prescribed core competencies and learning objectives set forth by Department of Defense to provide information that identifies retaliation, prevention strategies, how to respond to and manage retaliation effectively, and coordinate services for victims. The training identifies the impact on the military and addresses resources for victims and bystanders seeking to make a retaliation complaint. Leadership engagement in prevention and response to retaliatory behavior is vital. Training provides critical tips for leaders at all levels to on how to prevent retaliatory behavior and highlights the availability of a General or Flag Officer review when a victim is separated within one year of final disposition of his/her sexual assault case. In addition, a retaliation prevention tool was included in the 2019 annual training toolkit to further reinforce skills. In addition to the training highlighted above, Air Force Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate foundational training now includes a separate block of instruction to specifically address retaliation. This block of instruction highlights retaliatory behavior, identifies resources and Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and command actions in response to retaliation complaints.. Trends on retaliation sexual assault reports monitored across the Air Force and incorporated into training curriculum as appropriate. “Retaliation,” referring to what avenues for relief are available to victims and what Special Victims’ Counsel can do for their clients is a block of instruction at every Special Victims’ Counsel Course. The learning objectives for the block include understanding the legal definitions of and military policies regarding retaliation, identifying reporting and redress avenues for victims of retaliation, and being able to recognize instances of retaliation in various fact patterns. Military/Veteran Service Organization (MSO/VSO), Federal Partner, and Congressional Outreach: Collaboration with the other Services, Federal Partners and performing Congressional outreach is integral to enhancing prevention and response efforts across the Department of Defense. The Air Force strives to participate fully in opportunities to enhance existing capabilities within the Department of Defense, nationally and internationally. The Air Force is continuing its ongoing participation with the Office of the Secretary of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention Office and Military Departments in formal forums, such as the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Integrated Product Team and the Men’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Workgroup. These forums require active participation in the attainment of goals and objectives, metric and report analysis, and development of enterprise-wide initiatives. In November 2018, the Air Force participated in roundtable discussions with the Department of Defense, Sister Services and representatives from the Republic of South Korea to assist in policy development and implementation of a comprehensive sexual assault prevention and response program for the South Korean military. Partnership opportunities like this underscore the value of current Air Force capabilities and offer opportunities for feedback and improvement. In May 2018, personnel from the Air Force Resilience Office provided testimony to the Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces on expedited transfers. Testimony provided the committee with important insights into the


execution of expedited transfers across the Air Force, gaps in the process and recommendations for improvement to better support victims of sexual assault. January 9, 2018, members from the A1Z and Judge Advocate General senior staff met with Senator Claire McCaskill’s staff to discuss Expedited Transfers and Military Transitions for survivors of sexual assault. Congressional recommendations were included in the Sexual Assault Response System Improvement initiatives for further research and enhancement opportunities. March 7, 2017, the Air Force Director for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, the Primary Prevention Highly Qualified Expert, and two senior leaders from the Air Force Surgeon General’s office engaged Senators Tammy Duckworth and Paul Tsongas, Congresswoman Jackie Speier, and Senators John Kennedy and Kamala Harris’s staff on initiatives for improving the Sexual Assault Response system. March 27, 2017, The A1Z Colonels Group and Highly Qualified Expert participated in Senate Armed Services Committee Military Personnel Subcommittee Staffer Day delivering presentations and engaging in dialogue on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response updates and cyberbullying. In 2016, the Air Force adopted the Green Dot strategy as part of a comprehensive sexual assault prevention approach. This interactive brief introduced the basic elements of prevention while using persuasive language and skill building applications to engage participants in immediate action. In January 2018 the Air Force hosted a 90-minute demonstration of this training to congressional members and their staff The Air Force continued its partnership with the Division of Violence Prevention in the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide training and ongoing professional development to the Violence Prevention Integrators. This partnership established training and professional development curricula. 7. NDAA Requirements - Provide your Military Service’s status on the NDAA Sections presented below.

8.1 Analytic Discussion Background

Sexual Assault Definition: The Department of Defense and Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response programs utilize the term “sexual assault” to refer to the range of crimes in military law that constitutes contact sexual offenses between adults. These crimes include specific offenses of rape, sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, forcible sodomy (forced oral or anal sex), or any attempts to commit these offenses, as defined in Articles 80, 120, and 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Sexual Assault Reporting Options: Under the Department of Defense’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Policy, Service members and their adult military dependents have two reporting options – restricted and unrestricted reporting.

Filing a Restricted Report provides sexual assault victims with access to medical care, mental health care, advocacy services, and legal advice without initiating a criminal investigation or notifying their commander. In order to file a Restricted Report, victims must report the crime directly to the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Victim Advocate, or healthcare personnel.

Filing an Unrestricted Report, provides the same access to care and services as an individual filing a Restricted Report. Per Department of Defense policy, the Air Force refers Unrestricted Reports for investigation with a Military Criminal Investigative Organization and notifies the command of the report.

Victims who initially make a Restricted Report may convert it to an Unrestricted Report. Once a victim has filed an Unrestricted Report or chosen to convert their previously filed Restricted Report to an Unrestricted Report, it is not possible to convert it to a Restricted Report.

The Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database: Since fiscal year 2014, the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database, has been the Department of Defense’s authoritative, centralized case-level database used to collect and maintain information on sexual assaults involving members of the Armed Forces. The Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office operates the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database and works collaboratively with the Services to implement and sustain the system. The Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database meets requirements set forth in the fiscal year 2009 National Defense Authorization Act. The Air Force uses it to conduct oversight, inform Department and Service-level Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program planning and analysis, and meet Congressional reporting requirements.

Sexual Assault Response Coordinators use the database to provide comprehensive and standardized victim case management. Sexual Assault Response Coordinators are required to enter victim demographic, safety concerns, referrals and incident data for each report of sexual assault into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database. Additionally, for Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault, the database interfaces with Military Criminal Investigative Organization information systems, which “push” additional subject demographic and offense-specific information into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database. Military Criminal Investigative Organization information systems remain the system of record for all Unrestricted Reports they investigate. Service appointed legal officers also enter subject case disposition information into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database and validate entries.


Scope: This report contains data about sexual assault crimes that involve at least one Service member (either as the victim or as one or more of the subjects) reported to the Air Force. Sexual assault reporting data between spouses or intimate partners fall under the purview of the Air Force Family Advocacy Program and is not included in this report. Data regarding sexual harassment falls under the purview of the Air Force Equal Opportunity Program and is not included in this report.

Unrestricted and Restricted Report data captures sexual assault reports made by Service members and adult military dependents. The data also includes sexual assaults committed by Service members on victims outside the Armed Forces. Information describing these victims and subjects is also in the following statistics.

Sexual assault data continually changes due to case progress. The data contained in this report is a snapshot, reflecting the status of sexual assault reports, investigations, and subject dispositions in the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database on September 30, 2018 (the last day of fiscal year 2018).

8.1.1. Sexual Assault Reporting in the Air Force The Air Force has received a record of 1,544 reports of sexual assault involving Service members as either victims or subjects in fiscal year 2018. As depicted in Chart 8.1.1., this is the largest number of sexual assault reports received by the Air Force in the history of its Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program, at least 3% higher than in any previous fiscal year. The percentage of reports that remained restricted at the end of fiscal year 2018 is 30%, up two percentage points from 28% at the end of fiscal year 2017.


Chart 8.1.1. – Annual Reports of Sexual Assault

The Air Force believes that the sustained high levels of reporting between fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2018 indicates that victims feel increasingly more comfortable coming forward to report these crimes, receive care, and allow investigations to take place so that commanders and the military justice system can hold subjects appropriately accountable. Although, the Air Force fully supports the restricted reporting option, the decrease in the percentage of reports that remain restricted may indicate increasing victim confidence in the military justice system and the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program. The 1,544 reports of sexual assault received by the Air Force in fiscal year 2018 represents a 4% increase from the 1,480 reports made in fiscal year 2017. The total active duty Air Force population increased by 1%, from 318,282 at the end of fiscal year 2017 to 321,322 at the end of fiscal year 2018. For comparison, the Air Force received a total of 1,480 reports of sexual assault involving Service members as either victims or subjects in fiscal year 2017, which represented a 9% increase from the 1,355 reports made in fiscal year 2016. The total active duty Air Force population increased 2% during fiscal year 2017, from 313,426 at the end of fiscal year 2016 to 318,282 at the end of fiscal year 2017.


It is important to note that people do not always report sexual assaults in the same fiscal year as they happen, although the majority do. Of the 1,544 sexual assault reports received by the Air Force in fiscal year 2018, 923 (60%) reported incidents that occurred in fiscal year 2018, while 477 (31%) were for incidents that occurred in prior fiscal years, while the remaining 144 (9%) were for incidents that occurred on an unknown date.

For comparison, of the 1,480 sexual assault reports received by the Air Force in fiscal year 2017, 875 (59%) were for incidents that occurred in fiscal year 2017, 471 (32%) were for incidents that occurred in prior fiscal year, and the remaining 132 (9%) were for incidents that occurred on an unknown date.

Types of Sexual Assault Reports: Department of Defense policy allows eligible victims to make either a restricted or an unrestricted sexual assault report. A victim who initially makes a Restricted Report has the option of later converting the Restricted Report to an Unrestricted Report (policy prevents converting an Unrestricted Report to a Restricted Report). Of the 1,544 reports of sexual assault involving Service members as either victims or subjects, the Air Force received in fiscal year 2018:

• 164 (11%) were Restricted Reports initially reported in fiscal year 2018 that were converted to Unrestricted Reports in fiscal year 2018

• 25 (2%) were Restricted Reports initially reported prior to fiscal year 2018 but were converted to Unrestricted Reports in fiscal year 2018

• 464 (30%) were Restricted Reports initially reported in fiscal year 2018 that remained restricted at the end of fiscal year 2018.

8.1.1.1. Sexual Assault Prevalence in the Air Force

It is important to draw a distinction between the number of sexual assaults that occur (i.e., sexual assault prevalence) and the number of sexual assaults that are reported to authorities (i.e., sexual assault reporting) in a given timeframe. Since people, in both civilian and military populations, do not report most sexual assaults that occur to authorities, sexual assault prevalence will typically exceed sexual assault reporting.

Since sexual assault historically has been, and remains, a highly underreported crime, the number of reported sexual assaults in a given timeframe may not accurately indicate the number of sexual assaults that occurred in that timeframe. Therefore, to estimate the number of sexual assaults that occur in the active duty Department of Defense population, the Department of Defense administers an anonymous, confidential survey to active duty Department of Defense members biannually. The four most recent Department of Defense sexual assault active duty prevalence surveys were the 2018 and 2016 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members, the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, and the 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members.

Chart 8.1.1.1. shows the estimated past-year sexual assault prevalence estimates (red dots) with 95% confidence intervals (black lines) for active duty Airmen from the past four Department of Defense prevalence surveys. According to these surveys, an estimated 3,200 active duty airmen


experienced a past-year sexual assault in 2012, decreasing to about 2,300 in 2016, and increasing to 3,900 in 2018.1

Chart 8.1.1.1. Past Year Sexual Assault Prevalence Estimates for Active Duty Airmen

8.1.1.2. Sexual Assault Reporting Compared to Sexual Assault Prevalence

The Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program has stated a two-pronged goal of reducing sexual assault prevalence while increasing sexual assault reporting. According to the most recent biannual sexual assault prevalence study (the 2018 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members), an estimated 3,900 active duty Airmen were sexually assaulted in fiscal year 2018. While sexual assault reporting increased between fiscal years 2016 and 2018 by 14% the prevalence of sexual assault increased by 68% over the same time.

1 The 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members used a slightly different measure than did the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study and the 2016 and 2018 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members. The 2012 survey measured unwanted sexual contact, while the 2014, 2016, and 2018 surveys measured sexual assault. Also, the 2012 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members used a much smaller sample size than did the 2014, 2016, or 2018 surveys, which is reflected in the relatively large width of the 2012 survey confidence interval compared to the widths of the other survey confidence intervals.


Chart 8.1.1.2. illustrates this trend of relatively flat prevalence between fiscal year 2014 and 2016 and increased prevalence in fiscal year 2018 with increased reporting between fiscal year 2016 and 2018 by comparing the estimated number of sexually assaulted active duty Airmen in the past year to the number of sexual assaults reported by active duty Airmen in each fiscal year. However, because the Air Force accepts sexual assault reports from a much wider population than the population to which the prevalence estimates pertain, not all sexual assault reports are directly comparable to the sexual assault prevalence estimates.2

Chart 8.1.1.2. – Active Duty Prevalence vs. Reporting of Sexual Assault

In fiscal year 2018, the Air Force received a number of reports equal to approximately 33% of the number of sexual assaults indicated by prevalence studies. This is a decrease from fiscal year 2016 when the number of received reports was equal to approximately 46% of then number indicated by prevalence studies. The Air Force expects to reduce the “gap” between the survey- estimated number of sexually assaulted Airmen and the number of Airmen who choose to report in two ways, over time:

2 The sexual assault prevalence studies estimate the number of active duty Airmen who experienced a sexual assault in the past 12 months while in military service. The Air Force accepts sexual assault reports from active duty members of other services, certain non-active duty personnel, and imposes no limit on how long ago the sexual assault occurred or whether or not the victim was in the military at the time of the assault. Therefore, the graphic shows the number of reports that were by victims who were Service members at the time of the report.


• Sexual assault prevention initiatives will reduce past-year prevalence of sexual assault; and • Initiatives that encourage victims to report and improve the military justice system will

increase the number of victims who choose to report.

Although fiscal year 2018 saw the highest reporting number in the history of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program, about two-thirds of estimated past-year sexual assaults of active duty Airmen remain unreported. The Air Force continues to strive to narrow the gap between prevalence and reporting in order to reduce the underreporting of sexual assault in the military community. 8.1.2. Unrestricted Reporting 8.1.2.1. Analysis of Victims in Unrestricted Reports with Completed Investigations This section provides data about victims in completed investigations of Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault. In this section, the term “fiscal year” refers to the fiscal year in which the investigation associated with a report concluded, not the fiscal year of the report of the sexual assault. For example, Unrestricted Reports under the fiscal year 2018 column are not necessarily sexual assaults reported in fiscal year 2018. Rather, they are sexual assault reports whose associated investigations concluded in fiscal year 2018. The dates of these reports were in fiscal year 2018 or in any prior fiscal year. Type of Offense Investigated: Table 8.1.2.1.1. breaks out the Unrestricted Report investigations completed each fiscal year by type of offense investigated. Military Criminal Investigative Organizations categorize Unrestricted Reports by the most serious offense alleged in the report, which may not ultimately be the same offense for which evidence supports a misconduct charge, if any.

Table 8.1.2.1.1. – Type of Sexual Assault Offense for Unrestricted Reports

The type of offense investigated in completed investigations has been stable since fiscal year 2014. Penetrating offenses, which include rape, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and forcible sodomy, account for approximately half of all completed investigations. Contact offenses, which include aggravated sexual contact, abusive sexual contact, wrongful sexual contact, and indecent assault account for 44% of all completed investigations in fiscal year 2018. Attempts to commit offenses and unknown offense types account for the remainder, approximately 4% of all completed investigations.


Demographic Analysis of Victims in Completed Investigations Table 8.1.2.1.2. below provides a demographic analysis of victims in investigations completed each fiscal year by gender, age at the time of the incident, military affiliation, duty status, and grade.

Gender: Women consistently represent the majority (83%) of sexual assault victims in completed investigations each fiscal year (years 2014-2018), while comprising only 25% of the Total Air Force population during the same period. Male victims in completed investigations averaged 14%, between fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2018. In fiscal year 2018, men account for 15% of victims with completed investigations, while comprising 75% of the Total Air Force population.

Age at Time of Incident: Victims in the 16-19 age group in completed investigations are over-represented compared to their representation in the Total Air Force population. The percent of victims in the 16-19 age group averaged 17% between fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2018. In fiscal year 2018, this age group accounts for 22% of victims with investigations completed, while comprising of 4% of the Total Air Force population.

Victims in the 20-24 age group are also over-represented compared with the Total Air Force population. Between fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2018 the 20-24 age group averaged 38% of victims with investigations completed. In fiscal year 2018, this age group accounts for 38% of victims with investigations, while comprising 18% of the Total Air Force population.

Victims in each of the older age groups are under-represented compared to their respective cohorts in the fiscal year 2018 active duty Air Force population. In fiscal year 2018 the 25-34 age group represented 19% of victims and 34% of the Total Air Force. In fiscal year 2018 the 35-49 age group represented 4% of the victims and 29% of the Total Air Force. In fiscal year 2018 the 50+ age group represented 0.2% of the victims and 15% of the Total Air Force. Grade: Junior enlisted Airmen (E1-E4) are over-represented as victims in completed investigations between fiscal years 2014 and 2018 averaging 74% of the completed investigations. In fiscal year 2018, E1-E4 Airmen accounted for 77% of completed investigations while comprising 48% of the active duty Air Force population. Senior enlisted Airmen (E5-E9) and officers each account for a smaller share of the victims in completed investigations (16% and 6%, respectively in fiscal year 2018).


Table 8.1.2.1.2. – Victim Demographics for Unrestricted Reports

Military Protective Orders: Table 8.1.2.1.3. provides a summary of military protective orders. There were 104 military protective orders issued in fiscal year 2018, of which three were violated.

Table 8.1.2.1.3. – Military Protective Orders

Expedited Transfers: Table 8.1.2.1.4. provides a summary of expedited transfer requests by Service member victims. The number of expedited transfer requests in fiscal year 2018 was 178, of which 8 were denied. Expedited transfers were denied due to the victim pending Uniform Code of Military Justice actions or the Commander determined that the report was not credible. The number of requests increased from all previous years.

Victim Participation in the Military Justice Process: Table 8.1.2.1.5. provides a summary of victim participation in the military justice process. The number and percentage of cases in which the victim declined to participate in the military justice process decreased from 144 (29%) in fiscal year 2017 to 55 (16%) in fiscal year 2018.

Table 8.1.2.1.5. – Victim Participation in the Military Justice Process

8.1.2.2. Analysis of Subjects in Unrestricted Reports with Completed Investigations This section analyzes demographic data about subjects in completed investigations of Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault. In this section, the term “fiscal year” refers to the fiscal year in which the investigation associated with a sexual assault report concluded. For example, Unrestricted Reports under the fiscal year 2018 column are not necessarily reports filed in fiscal year 2018. Rather, they are sexual assault reports whose associated investigations concluded in fiscal year 2018. These reports include those filed in fiscal year 2018 or in any preceding fiscal year. Additionally, while each Unrestricted Report of sexual assault has a single victim, a report may have more than one subject. For these reasons, the number of subjects shown in a given fiscal year will not necessarily match the number of Unrestricted Reports with completed investigations during that fiscal year. Demographic Analysis of Subjects in Completed Investigations: Table 8.1.2.2.1. provides a demographic analysis of subjects in investigations completed each fiscal year by gender, age at the time of the incident, military affiliation, duty status, and grade. Gender: The majority of subjects in completed investigations are male. The percentage of subjects in completed investigations that are male has remained relatively stable over recent fiscal years at about 85%. Men comprised about 80% of the active duty Air Force population during this time. Compared to their share of the active duty population, women are under-represented as subjects in completed investigations. In fiscal year 2018, women represented 7% of subjects in completed investigations and 20% of the active duty Air Force population. Age: On average between fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2018, the top three age groups of subjects in completed investigations are age groups 20-24 at 37%, 25-34 at 28%, and 35-49 at 13%. In fiscal year 2018, top three age group of subjects in completed investigations are age group 20-24 at 39%, 25-34 at 26%, and 16-19 and 35-49 at 10% each.


Grade: On average between fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2018, grade groups of subjects in completed investigations are E-1 to E-4 at 60%, E-5 to E-9 at 30%, O-1 to O-3 at 5% and O-4 to O-10 at 3%. In fiscal year 2018, E-1 to E-4 remained the rank group with the highest percentage of subjects in completed investigation at 61%.

Table 8.1.2.2.1. – Subject Demographics for Unrestricted Reports

8.1.2.3. Investigative and Military Justice Process Discussion Subject Dispositions: Once the investigation of an Unrestricted Report is complete, Congress requires the Military Services to provide the outcome of the allegations against each subject named in an investigation – subject dispositions. Table 8.1.2.3.1. analyzes subject dispositions reported in fiscal year 2018. Of the 431 subjects with dispositions reported in fiscal year 2018, 344 had consideration for command action and the remaining 87 did not because the subject was outside the Department of Defense’s legal authority or a civilian or foreign authority exercised jurisdiction over the subject. Of the 344 subjects having consideration for command action, completion of command action occurred for 325 in fiscal year 2018. Of the 325 subjects with command actions completed in fiscal year 2018, for 217 (67%) the Air Force substantiated either a sexual assault charge or other misconduct, for 99 (30%) the circumstances precluded command action, and for 9 (3%) command or legal review found the allegation unfounded.


Table 8.1.2.3.1. – Fiscal year 2018 Subject Dispositions for Unrestricted Reports

Completed Command Actions: Chart 8.1.2.3.2. analyzes completed command actions for penetrating and sexual contact crimes over time. Command actions for non-sexual assault offense increased by three percentage points between fiscal year 2017 and 2018. Command actions for sexual assault offenses that led to discharge, non-judicial punishment, or Court-Martial increased by 10 percentage points, over the same time. Cases where command action was not possible decreased by 13 percentage points between fiscal year 2017 and 2018.


Chart 8.1.2.3.2. – Completed Command Actions by Fiscal Year

Court-Martial Outcomes: Charts 8.1.2.3.3. and 8.1.2.3.4. analyze sexual assault Court-Martial outcomes for penetrating and sexual contact crimes, respectively, over time. In fiscal year 2018, the Air Force charged 91 subjects with a penetrating crime, of which 54 proceeded to trial. Of the 54 subjects tried, there were 14 convictions (26%). The Air Force charged 18 subjects with a sexual contact crime, of which 13 proceeded to trial. Of the 13 subjects tried, there were 9 convictions (69%). The overall conviction rate for cases tried with an Article 120 offense was 34%.

Chart 8.1.2.3.4. – Sexual Assault Court-Martial Outcomes for Sexual Contact Crimes

Duration of Investigative and Military Justice Processes The length of a sexual assault investigation depends on a number of factors, including: • The alleged offense; • The location and availability of the victim, subject, and witnesses; • The amount and kind of physical evidence gathered during the investigation; and • The length of time required for crime laboratory analysis of evidence. Depending on these and other factors, sexual assault investigation length may range from a few months to over a year. Chart 8.1.2.3.5. shows the mean and median lengths of time to complete sexual assault investigations in the Air Force. The median has remained constant at 75 days since fiscal year 2015 while the mean decreased from fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2017 and increased from 99 days in fiscal year 2017 to 106 days in fiscal year 2018.

Outcome 8.1.2.4. Analysis of Incident Details in Unrestricted Reports Table 8.1.2.4.1. analyzes incident details associated with Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault by the fiscal year in which the Air Force received the sexual assault report. Whereas previous sections classified unrestricted sexual assault reports by the fiscal year in which the associated investigation was completed, this section classifies sexual assault reports by the fiscal year of the filing of the report. In cases where investigations are not complete, the information provided by the victim is the base for incident details. Table 8.1.2.4.1. does not include any sexual assault reports that were initially filed as restricted in one fiscal year but converted to unrestricted in a later fiscal year. However, it does include any sexual assault reports initially filed as restricted in one fiscal year and converted to unrestricted in the same fiscal year. The overall number of Unrestricted Reports made to the Air Force increased 1% from fiscal year 2017 to fiscal year 2018, from 1042 in fiscal year 2017 to 1055 in fiscal year 2018. Assault Location: The percentage of Unrestricted Reports in which the sexual assault occurred on base decreased from 52% in fiscal year 2017 to 46% in fiscal year 2018. Subject-Victim Service Affiliation: Unrestricted Reports in which Service members sexually assault non-Service members remained relatively constant at 13% in fiscal year 2017 and 2018. Unrestricted Reports in which non-Service members sexually assault Service members decreased from 6% in fiscal year 2017 to 5% in fiscal year 2018.

Subject-Victim Gender: The percentage of Unrestricted Reports involving subjects and victims of different genders (i.e., males sexually assaulting females or females sexually assaulting males) increased by three percentage points, from 63% in fiscal year 2017 to 66% in fiscal year 2018. Conversely, the percentage of reports involving subjects and victims of the same gender (i.e., males sexually assaulting other males or females sexually assaulting other females) decreased by almost one percentage point, from 9% in fiscal year 2017 to 8% in fiscal year 2018. Reporting Delay: The percentage of Unrestricted Reports filed within 30 days of the occurrence of the sexual assault has increased since fiscal year 2016, increasing from 45% to 50% between fiscal years 2016 and 2018. Assault Day of Week and Time of Day: The percentage of Unrestricted Reports in which the sexual assault occurred on the weekend (Friday through Sunday) has increased by four percentage points, from 54% in fiscal year 2017 to 58% in fiscal year 2018. Sexual assault that occurred on a weekday (Monday-Thursday) decreased by three percentage points, from 41% in fiscal year 2017 to 38% in fiscal year 2018.

Table 8.1.2.4.1. – Incident Details for Unrestricted Reports


8.1.3. Restricted Reporting Restricted Reports of sexual assault are confidential, covered communications as defined in Department of Defense policy. The Air Force cannot investigate allegations made in Restricted Reports because there is no requirement for victims to provide many details about these sexual assaults, and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response personnel do not enter information about alleged subjects into the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database. Therefore, the Defense Sexual Assault Incident Database data about Restricted Reports are more limited than data about Unrestricted Reports. 8.1.3.1. Restricted Report Conversions Table 8.1.3.1.1. shows the number of initially Restricted Reports, the number of initially Restricted Reports those victims converted to unrestricted in the same fiscal year, and the number of Restricted Reports remaining restricted at the end of each fiscal year. In fiscal year 2018, 628 victims initially filed Restricted Reports with the Air Force. Of these, 164 chose to convert their Restricted Report to an Unrestricted Report in fiscal year 2018 (the unrestricted reporting sections include these reports), leaving 464 Restricted Reports remaining restricted at the end of fiscal year 2018. The percentage of Restricted Reports that were converted increased by four percentage points, from 22% in fiscal year 2017 to 26% in fiscal year 2018. The Air Force assesses this increase in same-fiscal year Restricted Report conversions as indicative of growing confidence on the part of victims to participate in the investigative and judicial processes that are necessary to hold alleged offenders accountable.

Table 8.1.3.1.1. – Restricted Report Conversions

8.1.3.2. Analysis of Victims in Restricted Reports Table 8.1.3.2.1. and the following discussion provides a demographic analysis of victims of sexual assault who made Restricted Reports that remained restricted through the end of the reporting fiscal year, without conversion. The unrestricted reporting section above includes converted Restricted Reports. Gender: The portion of male victims in Restricted Reports increased from 13% to 20% between fiscal years 2017 and 2018. Even with this increase, male victims are under-represented compared with the active duty Air Force population. In fiscal year 2018, men comprised of 80% of the active duty Air Force population. Over the same time, the portion of women in Restricted Reports decreased from 86% to 80% while comprising of 20% of the active duty Air Force population. Age at Time of Incident: Victims in the 16-19 age group are over-represented compared with their representation in the active duty Air Force population, accounting for 18% of the Restrict Reports


while comprising of 5% of the active duty Air Force population. Victims in the 20-24 age category are also consistently over-represented compared with their share of the active duty Air Force population. In fiscal year 2018, age group 20-24 accounted for 44% of the Restricted Reports and 28% of the active duty Air Force population. Each of the older age groups are consistently under-represented compared to their respective cohorts in the active duty Air Force population. Grade: Junior enlisted Airmen (E1-E4) are consistently over-represented among victims who file Restricted Reports that remained restricted at the end of the fiscal year. Junior enlisted Airmen accounted for 59% of the victims in Restricted Reports and remained restricted, while comprising of 39% of the active duty Air Force population. Senior enlisted Airmen (E5-E9) and officers each accounted for a smaller shares of the fiscal year 2018 victims who filed Restricted Reports that remained restricted at the end of fiscal year 2018 (27% and 10%, respectively) than their respective cohorts in the active duty Air Force population (42% and 19%, respectively).
